A semiconductor device is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a via passivation layer disposed on an inactive surface of a substrate, a through-electrode vertically penetrating the substrate and the via passivation layer, a concave portion formed in the top surface of the via passivation layer and disposed adjacent to the through-electrode, and a via protective layer coplanar with the via passivation layer and the through-electrode and to fill the concave portion. In a horizontal cross-sectional view, the via protective layer has a band shape surrounding the through-electrode.

A method includes the steps of: preparing a lead frame including a plurality of die pads, and preparing a plurality of semiconductor chips; disposing each of the semiconductor chips on a respective one of the die pads; forming a sealing resin to cover the die pads and the semiconductor chips; and attaching a heat dissipation plate to the die pads by pressing the heat dissipation plate against the die pads via a resin sheet which is an adhesive layer after the sealing resin is formed.

A method of making an electronic device includes forming a circuit layer on a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrate and having at least one solder pad. The method also includes forming an LCP solder mask having at least one aperture therein alignable with the at least one solder pad. The method further includes aligning and laminating the LCP solder mask and the LCP substrate together, then positioning solder paste in the at least one aperture. At least one circuit component may then be attached to the at least one solder pad using the solder paste.
